Declining health and increased personal unmanageability that result in missed work

Slower reaction times and cognition that can jeopardize professional performance

Interpersonal issues & isolation

Inability to cope with traumas big and small

Writing Therapy consists of guided writing assignments that are processed with our highly-qualified Writing Therapists. This process not only helps resolve trauma and stress, but also teaches healthy coping tools for the future.
